I love the setting at Coral Reef but the menu is not appealing to me at all!! I really only would eat the steak , I had eyed tth crab cake but after seeing them here am not so sure !!!
Loving this report! I have been looking for pics of the drinks around WS! Thanks for sharing!
Well that is too bad your lobster pasta wasn't that great at CR. Oh well right! I love your drinking around the world pics and reviews!! Being 7.5 months pregnant I so long for a tasty adult beverage

No more Red Stag Lemonade? This breaks my heart! Nothing but beer drinks in America is a travesty!
You guys are absolute champions for making it around the world!
You know I love the idea of lobster mac and cheese, but I don't think I've ever had one out that I've LOVED. (I did have a fab lobster risotto in Vegas once, though!) Yours definitely looks oily and not deliciously cheesy. Unfortunate!
I'm glad you guys liked La Hacienda, though! The Rosita was a bit too floral tasting for me, but those shrimp tacos look amazing! Fried instead of grilled was an interesting choice on their part, but I'm glad you liked it!
If you're ever in Manhattan, try MacBar in Soho. their lobster mac is insanely good, and very reasonably priced. It's a really small place though, only 4 or 5 tables, so I usually get mine to go. They have some other interesting Macs, like Duck Confit and Reuben.
Haha, I used to work in SoHo. Mac Bar was my place! I always had the Mac Shroom. Mmm truffle oil!
Great Reviews!
Love your reviews! Drinking around the world looks like so much fun!
I fell behind on your wonderful reviews, so going back to:
Tony's: how lovely to read a positive review of Tony's for a change. I agree it's not exactly gourmet Italian, but we've always enjoyed our meals there and it certainly is lovely inside.
Kona Cafe: my DS and I had lunch at Kona during our last trip and had an enjoyable meal. Service seems to be a real issue there now as we too experienced a less than stellar server. The food is good enough to keep you coming back though! I loved the look and description of both sushi dishes, I'm going to have to try one of them next time!
The Wave: I keep reading wonderful reviews of the breakfast buffet at the Wave but sadly haven't tried it yet. We're big fans of dinner there, the food is always fresh and delicious. How great the chef made special eggs benny just for you, and they looked soooo good!
Drinks around the world Part 1: LOVE the look on your face when you discovered La Cava was closed! And OT, I love the nail polish you were wearing, very pretty! That coffee drink from Norway is calling my name, as well as the Peach Snap and Rosa Regale.
Coral Reef: My first thought after seeing the picture of your app was "wow, that really looks burnt!" Glad to hear it didn't taste that way. I tried lobster mac & cheese at House of Blues in Downtown Disney last September and was pretty underwhelmed. I love lobster and I love mac and cheese but I've discovered I don't like them in combination. It didn't help that the lobster was rubbery, something that will turn me off pretty quick. Sorry your experience at CR wasn't any better than mine. I often find mango desserts can have a rather artificial taste, I'm sorry that Megan's dessert was like that but your Chocolate Wave looked wonderful! The tank pics are great, the stingray looks like he's smiling at you, lol!
Drinking around the world Part 2: You gals did a great job on your quest! I've never tried the Pear Magners but as I'm also a fan of Strongbow I think I'd probably like this one too. I've been known to indulge in a glass of plum wine (or two) when dining in Japan, delish! The Red Stag lemonade is no longer on the menu at the America pavilion?? Oh the humanity!! I really hope they bring it back tout de suite! What exactly is an angry orchard, another cider drink?
La Hacienda: I too had the queso app last October and it was exactly the same as Megans. Hard as a rock and impossible to cut, let alone dip your chips in. Very disappointing. The rest of your meal looked incredible! I had the shrimp taco offered at the Mexico booth during Food & Wine and it was amazing! Those look exactly the same so I know how awesome they are.
Ok, I really shouldn't read these reviews before lunch because now I'm really starving, lol!
All caught up and looking forward to more!
Tusker House looks great! I think we will definitely make a stop there on our next trip! Do they still have the Krispy Kreme donuts?
I love Tuskers House. The last time we went it was 11:00 and we got both breakfast and lunch and it was so good. The margarita for breakfast is hilarious. I was somewhere years ago for lunch and it was 11 and I ordered a drink and the waiter thought I was crazy he said you do know its 11 o'clock? Ugh yes don't people order drinks at lunch. And I was in Louisiana so you can't tell me that that is early for a drink there. As my uncle says it's 5 o'clock somewhere!
Um, jungle juice mimosas?!? This is very important information, thank you.
What a great review so far! So mush good info w/ some many good restaurants. I will now be trying the cheese blintz @ TH.
